The city pays the Thalian Hall Center a management fee to care for the public parts of the building, including the second-floor “ballroom” area, where the City Council, the City Planning Commission and the Historic Preservation Commission meet.

According to the center’s website, the management fee amounts to 18 percent of the center’s budget. In the current fiscal year, however, that figure is closer to 12.67 percent, according to Thalian Hall director Tony Rivenbark — or a sum of roughly $127,500.
